Book excerpt: This biography of French liberator Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834) reveals not only how the nineteen-year-old bravely ventured to the infant United States to serve in its War of Independence, but also the iconoclast's enormous contribution to the causes of social and economic justice in France, Italy, Spain, Greece, and Poland. The Marquise (1759-1807), born Adrienne de Noailles, shared the same controversial beliefs as her husband, supporting and defending him wholeheartedly despite ongoing political persecution-including the Marquis's exile in an Austrian dungeon and her own imprisonment (and near-execution) by French radicals. Employing a sweeping, classical feel, and visiting landscapes including the magnificent court at Versailles, the brutal hardship of Valley Forge, and the momentous storming of the Bastille, Lane chronicles and celebrates the couple's passionate yet tumultuous relationship while documenting the birth of America, two French Revolutions, and the Napoleonic era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Madame De Lafayette and Her Family From the memoirs, real and fictitious, written in such profusion during the last days of Royal France, one is apt to form, in judging the character of the grande dame of that period, an erroneous estimate, and to forget that there existed other and nobler women than those celebrated for extravagance and intrigue: hundreds to whom the salons of Versailles were preferably terra incognita. Of this latter type was the wife of Lafayette. Aside from the prominent part she played, no woman of the Revolution possesses a more interesting personality than Adrienne de Noailles. "She was, wrote the Count de Segur, "a model of heroism. She was one of the few whose unsullied reputation received new lustre from the misfortunes of the Revolution." During the stormy days of the Terror the position of Mme. de Lafayette was one of extreme danger. Only the constant, frantic efforts of her friends and the repeated appeals of the American minister saved her from that tragic guillotine where, within the hour, mother, sister, and grandmother perished. Young and enthusiastic, she encouraged in Lafayette those republican tendencies which, bitterly opposed by their relatives, cost them at a later date so dearly. Stifling her heartache, she sped the husband on that hazardous voyage across distant seas to aid the great cause of liberty in far-off America - a land, as her quaint letters to Washington show, she always loved and longed to visit.
